What do reviewers say about Encre Noire and Al Kaser?
This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
This one has animalic tendencies that divide people. If you've been burned by synthetic oud before, Al Kaser's raw, resinous heart might change your mind.Al Kaser
